Brooks Century

Join us on the Brooks Century on Saturday, May 17th.  This is our second annual charity ride conducted by the SouthSide Cycling Club to benefit local youth cycling teams and community bike projects.

DESCRIPTION:
Your ride will travel on low-speed roads in Fayette County from Brooks, Georgia past historic farms in Woolsey and Inman, North Fayetteville to the Piedmont Fayette Wellness Center in Trilith Village - the home of Trilith Studio. The ride continues through Tyrone and Peachtree City, returning to Brooks.  Century riders after a Brooks SAG stop will continue onward to finish their ride back at Brooks.

This well-marked ride is fully supported with parking, registration, cue sheets, and three SAG (Support and Gear) stops with food & on-site mechanical services sponsored by Bike Trilith, Atlanta Trek and Senoia Bicycle.    

Steel Heritage Ride - riders of vintage bicycles are invited to participate.  There will be a special, covered display area to show off the vintage steeds when you return from your ride to socialize, assisted by Peachtree State Classic Cycling.

E-Bikes  - yes you are welcome to participate too.

POST RIDE:  After your ride, enjoy a hot lunch of a classic Greek Gyro [Lamb & Beef, Chicken or Falafel (V) options] with Greek potatoes onsite by The Mad Greek which is included with your registration.
